Guest echostats Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I have to concur with the title at the digg site. Best Skin ever for a phone! I can't stop playing with it. not that there is much to do but the JogDial works perfect with this skin! I did see something else that could be an awesome touch! in the last hover over of the clock icon the yellow sticky shows a mock task list you guys are plan to do on new releases. wouldn't it be awesome if the coding was written to retrieve some of your appointments and display it in the fields? I know you guys put a lot of sweat and thoughts in to this and I don't know if it can achieved. but that will also be an additional touch. :) keep up the good work! We have some plans for the dashboard and that just may end up being one we will try. There is still we want to do to this skin but all in all I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks a lot for the kind words and we will continue to try to get more comments like that from you guys as we release more skins.

Guest l_starter_l Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 2 questions how do i remove icons eg quicktime from the docking station and is there a way i can rename the icons e.g instead of itunes- WMP5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brettr Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Just installed it, NICE I have the tmobile dash: ...snip... My size and %'s arent howing on the battery, storage, device. Is that just for looks? If im not in the dock at the bottom cycling through the shortcuts, my screen doesnt stay fixed/set, it wants to jump and make the top split up and messses up all the monitors (battery,storage, device). Is that b.c of the Wi-fi monitor not showing unless you go to the top? ...snip... Something similar happened to me when I was updating to the newest version. The way I fixed it was: 1. Change to some other homescreen 2. Uninstall all the plugins and the homescreen related to this project 3. Reboot the phone 4. Reinstall each plugin and the homescreen I think that was all I had to do. I might have rebooted once more for good measure, but it works beautifully now. Rock on SkinProject!

Each one will have to be altered, to make the dock shortcut change. I changed the suffari to IE, and the Itunes to WMP 10. Now, saying that, im a graphic designer so it wasnt that hard. Now i just have to figure out how to change the applications selection for programs. For some reason its not pulling from the start folder. E-mail me with what you want it to change, and i will change it when i have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamma14 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) ...snip...is there a way i can rename the icons e.g instead of itunes- WMP5...snip...Before people said they would prefer OS X names, and I feel inclined to agree now - we are making the homescreen as OS X as possible! ...snip...Now i just have to figure out how to change the applications selection for programs. For some reason its not pulling from the start folder.It is the MRU plugin...it is not predefined shortcuts (that would make the rest of the dock pretty useless) it displays your most recently used applications. E-mail me with what you want it to change, and i will change it when i have the time. :) Lol, I'm having deja vu. :) Oh and in case anyone cares...I'm gonna need a new hard drive...:) (not Windows' fault - it's an old PC) :)...but don't worry all the SkinProject stuff is backed up! I should be back up and running within the week. :D James ...then I'll get that gif up.... :D EDIT: Oh and btw, incase anyone cares (again) this is now the topic with the 4th highest amount of replies in the whole of the homescreen download discussion section, despite it only having been here for less than 2 months! So thanks for your comments and suggestions, keep them coming! :D And it is also the most downloaded homescreen in the landscape section by quite a big margin :D. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded and rated it too! echostats and I are really pleased with the response and we hope to bring you more of our "LIMITED EDITION" :) themes in the future!

Guest echostats Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 rofl about people wanting to change the theme. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Anyhow, to change the shortcuts and what they link to simple add the shortcut to the Storage Card\Program Files\SkinProject\OS X\ Shorctuts. Make sure you name them correctly and you're good to go. If you want a Windows theme, check out windowsisgaysogaythatitshouldnthaveatheme.com. This is an OS X theme and that's how it shall stay. Thanks for all the love and continue to watch out for our future themes. (vista has been talked about as being our next theme so hold your horses).

Guest echostats Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm a very sarcastic. I use Windows and have used Windows for about 10 years. I have everything against it but I cannot deny it's usefulness. Please understand it was sarcasm. Ask Jamma, I'm a mac fanboy. To each his own.

Guest jbz Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 that's cool, I wasn't getting uptight about it. Just thought the "isgay" part was a bit overkill :) I use both, so I don't really have an alliance to one or the other. That being said...can't wait to see the Vista project.

Yea, I use a lot of different platforms ranging from XP, Vista, OS X, Ubuntu, WM5 :D. I'm a Mac guy pretty much because I use it all frequently and Mac is the one that I find "relaxing". Less to do, "it just works". I fix XP workstations all day, it's a relief to come home to OS X. OK! done being a fanboy for now. later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hackeradam Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Rockin home screen fellas. One question though - is there supposed to be any functionality to the menu bar across the top? (apple, mobile, etc, etc) Or is it just there for aesthetics? If so, then I hosed up the install somehow. Also, any plans on throwing in another plugin like Fizz Weather to fill in the empty space in the middle? -thanks Edited February 14, 2007 by hackeradam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty limited on what we can do with this screen because of the scrolling dock. There will be no more MAJOR updates/changes to this skin but there are some things we will be adding. Keep checking back and soon we will have more SkinProject screens in addition to this OS X theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great plugin and would do all the thing people are asking for (signal strength, profile, voicemail, etc.) Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya, yeah I had looked at the plugin previously and I reckon it would be able to improve the functionality of the taskbar...but it isn't free and that's gonna mean a lot of people won't be able to use the homescreen...I'll look into it and see if we can do a separate version with this plugin included (as soon as I get the PC back up and running).

Guest Malatesta Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Strange question: Can I run this skin suite without Smartmonitor (it utterly crashes the Moto Q from my experience)? I realize I'll loose the battery meter and memory info but I might be able to live without that. tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much more simplified it can get after 7 pages of instuctions. You will need to install WinRAR to extract the rar file, it's free, google it.
